Alan says hi.
When the record caught on in 1990 or thereabouts, there were, relatively speaking, a lot of sealed copies floating around. I think that either Plunky or Black Fire had dead stock, but for some reason I also think more were pressed up to meet the new demand-- if memory serves, someone had the plates.
Later, in the mid-90s, Black Fire repressed a bunch of titles, including "African Rhythms." I never picked up that reissue, so I don't know if or how it differed from the previous pressing or pressings.
My copy, which I'm pretty sure is the original 1975 issue, has "QCA 0X642A" and "QCA 0X642B" in the run-off.
I don't doubt it. Just saying if they kept using the original plates on subsequent pressings, all the copies are liable to have the same markings in the run-off.
BF 1975 1 A
*look on the back cover next to the Black Fire logo. There it should also read the catalog number. On my cover, it reads: "BF 19751 Stereo" (which matches the text in the runout grooves).
It was sealed when I got it, however there is no doubt in my mind that it was an old pressing. The celophane was yellow and hardened (dried out over the years), plus the inner paper sleeve was nasty and mildew smelling. The images/text are also very clear.
one with a maroon border around the front cover.
and another with full bleed artwork to the edge.
the full bleed is more original and desidered.
peace be with you.
Mine too - full bleed steez
I like this record alot.
I play the record often.
if you don't, it's still good, it's still good.
are you are talking about how the spine titles are pushed onto front cover, and how 'S' in Rhythms are cut off?
I'm talking no 1/2" maroon border top bottom left right.
more original = extra medium? discuss?
Discuss....
Peace be with you

i like their other one more though.
mine is definatly original bf 1975 1 A/B
what does full bleed mean ?
full bleed: graphics/publishing/ad term
definition: the color runs all the way to the edge of the page/cover/paper. No white border or outline around the edge
for example, most personal laser printers cannot print at full bleed
Space Jungle Love Juice Pho Yo Babies?
..or their true 1st LP? (not many know this one)
I want their 45. Somebody can maybe help a dude out? Did sealed copies of these ever turn up?
I mentioned that I found an OG sealed (african rhythms), I certianly paid for it though.
So what is this 'true' first LP?? Is it on black fire, under the same name, what is the deal?
And the 45 you mention, is that on BF too?
african rhythms?
I have the 45. It's soooo much iller than the LP version, at least to my ears. Damn near double the bpm.
TSL had quantity of this for a minute... but no more I think.
that 45 is sooooo dope. totally agreed much much iller. and both sides are fire too.
still considered an 'OG' though.
For whatever its worth, I also remember the first press having an Orange label (rather than red).
I baught this record for $1 at a local spot...was pissed to find out there was a Hugh Masekela record inside, even tho that record is dope, I'm sure you can understand my disappointment.
The 2nd press was going for ~$30 (20 pounds) maybe five years ago. Soul Brother in London had quantity, a bunch of us got hooked up through them.
